DOI: 10.1002/etc.5531
Abstract: Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxin and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) are persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative. Currently, PCDD/F monitoring programs primarily use fish and birds with potentially large home ranges to monitor temporal trends over broad spatial scales; sentinel organisms… read more here.
